Abstract
In one example, a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) module is provided. The LiDAR module comprises a semiconductor integrated circuit comprising a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) formed on a surface of a silicon substrate, and a controller, the MEMS comprising a polygon assembly, the polygon assembly comprising: a polygon; a support structure connected to the polygon and forming a stack with the polygon along a rotation axis; a plurality of anchors formed on the surface of the substrate; and a plurality of actuators, each actuator of the plurality of actuators being connected between the support structure and an anchor of the plurality of actuators. The controller is configured apply a voltage across each actuator of the plurality of actuators, wherein the voltage causes each actuator to exert a torque on the support structure to rotate the polygon around the rotation axis by a target rotation angle.
